ENTAGGED(1)

💖 NAME 💖

okay bestie, say hi to entagged — it's a Java Audio File Tagger and it is literally the main character of your music library 🎀

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so here's the vibe: entagged gives you a super convenient way to change the value of tag fields — either by hand, or automatically through the freedb database. no cap. 🦋

and like… it does SO much organization work too?? you can rename your files from their tag in literally any way you want, including complex directory structures. and you can go the other direction — tag the files from their filename, which means you don't have to copy all that info by hand. not me saving you hours of your life 💅

best of all tho? entagged hides all the different format complexity behind one unique interface. so you can work with mixed file formats — like, you can use freedb on a mixed album of WMA, MP3 and OGG files without worrying! periodt. 🔥

🌸 Features 🌸

• Support for OGG Vorbis files - MP3 (id3v1 and id3v2 tags) files - FLAC Files - MPC(MP+) Musepack Files - APE Monkey Audio Files - WAV files ✨
• Handles all files independently of their type (allows one to batch files even from mixed types) 👑
• Edit essential tag information (Artist-Album-Title-TrackNb-Comment-Genre-Year) easily 💖
• Rename files from their tag using any of the above infos with any pattern 🦋
• Tag files (again using the above fields) from their filename with any pattern 🎀
• Pattern can use filename but also directory name, easy to create a well structured audio files repository 🌈
• freedb search using automatically computed cddb id's (the way it is meant to be used). Simply select some files that represent an album, then query and tag. 🔍
• freedb search using manually searched cddb id. When entagged can't find any match, you can search freedb for a given artist/album and find the correct match yourself, then ask entagged to tag the files. 💅
• Supports Multi language (currently only english, french and spanish) (contributors appreciated) 🌍
• Recursive processing of all the above operations, easily ! ⭐
• Text transformation: capitalize, uppercase roman numerals, lowercase, and more that can be used either while tagging or renaming. ✍️
• Separate freedb and audioformats libraries that can be used independently by anyone who want to read and/or write meta data to audio files 📚
